Easy Street Cake

Another easy cake that takes minutes to get into the oven and will provide a treat for the family during the approaching holiday season. The cake can be dressed up with a fancy icing or served with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. Need something more 'portable', bake them as cupcakes.

Easy Street Cake
*1 box cake mix (your choice!)
*1 small package instant pudding mix
3 large eggs
*/2 cup chopped nuts (your choice!)
1/2 cup oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup club soda

This recipe is good for a bundt pan but can easily be a sheet cake or cupcakes. Vegetable oil spray your pans of choice or line cupcake wrapper in a muffin tin. Set aside while you prepare the batter.

Mix together thoroughly all the ingredients except the club soda. Then, quickly mix in the club soda to incorporate and pour into prepared pan(s).

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes depending on type of pan(s) you used. Cool in pan for 15 minutes before removing.

The fun of this recipe is that you can mix and match your cake mixes, instant pudding mix, and choice of nuts. I always watch for cake mix sales, especially around the holiday seasons, and stock up just for this sort of occasion.
